He let his mind wander slightly closer to his present. Electronic music bled into his awareness, reminding him that his body was actually in Ronan's car. In this other place, it was easy to tell that the music was the sound of Ronan's soul. Hungry and prayerful, it whispered of dark places, old places, fire and sex. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Electronic Music quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
It is the element I miss in electronic music - no performance, no loving immersion. Maybe that is why I was never particularly drawn to electronic music. ~ Lukas Foss
Electronic Music quotes by Lukas Foss
I like all kinds of music - classical, pop, rock, electronic. ~ Ha-Joon Chang
Electronic Music quotes by Ha-Joon Chang
You're surrounded by electronic music in New York. I mean New York is one of the few places in North America where electronic music is the prevalent form. ~ Bob Mould
Electronic Music quotes by Bob Mould
This is me trying to bridge the gap and make a record that I'm truly proud of, I've got my 80s side and my indie side, my super pop slant and the electronic music that I love. I wanted to make happy, feel-good music. It all comes from an organic place ~ Blake Lewis
Electronic Music quotes by Blake Lewis
In India, I have been called a 'destroyer.' But that is only because they mixed my identity as a performer and as a composer. As a composer I have tried everything, even electronic music and avant-garde. But as a performer I am, believe me, getting more classical and more orthodox, jealously protecting the heritage that I have learned. ~ Ravi Shankar
Electronic Music quotes by Ravi Shankar
When I recorded Contra la Puerta, I never really thought out doing the material live. Mostly because I haven't really seen any electronic music performed live in an interesting way. ~ Jim Coleman
Electronic Music quotes by Jim Coleman
I'm a very optimistic person. I have the chance to listen to so much phenomenal music. Connecting with social networking to create music is a progression of what electronic music does anyway - it connects people. ~ Paul Van Dyk
Electronic Music quotes by Paul Van Dyk
I do it live on tape with a band. It's not like I'm doing electronic music with a laptop. ~ Lykke Li
Electronic Music quotes by Lykke Li
Percussion music is revolution. Sound and rhythm have too long been submissive to the restrictions of nineteenth century music. Today we are fighting for their emancipation. Tomorrow, with electronic music in our ears, we will hear freedom. At the present stage of revolution, a healthy lawlessness is warranted. Experiment must necessarily be carried on by hitting anything-tin pans, rice bowls, iron pipes-anything we can lay our hands on. Not only hitting, but rubbing, scraping, making sound in every possible way ... What we can't do ourselves will be done by machines which we will invent. ~ John Cage
Electronic Music quotes by John Cage
Karlheinz Stockhausen to journalist: "I heard the piece Aphex Twin of Richard James carefully: I think it would be very helpful if he listens to my work "Song of the Youth," which is electronic music, and a young boy's voice singing with himself. Because he would then immediately stop with all these post-African repetitions, and he would look for changing tempi and changing rhythms, and he would not allow to repeat any rhythm if it [was] varied to some extent and if it did not have a direction in its sequence of variations."

Aphex Twin to journalist: "I thought he should listen to a couple of tracks of mine: 'Didgeridoo,' then he'd stop making abstract, random patterns you can't dance to". ~ Karlheinz Stockhausen
Electronic Music quotes by Karlheinz Stockhausen
[David] Bowie went on to make best-selling music - funk, dance music, electronic music, while also being influenced by cabaret and jazz. ~ David Bowie
Electronic Music quotes by David Bowie
It's an honor for me to close out Mysteryland. In American music history this is hallowed ground. I think electronic music has a lot in common with the spirit of rock and roll and what Woodstock had going on at the time. We are kind of the new kids on the block and this music isn't accepted by everyone so we are still kind of getting into pop culture and I think its appropriate that this festival is here and kicking down the door. ~ Kaskade
Electronic Music quotes by Kaskade
Maybe one day there will finally be an education for electronic music. ~ Afrojack
Electronic Music quotes by Afrojack
I love some electronic music. I'm not a big fan of dubstep, but there is so much good electronic music out there. ~ Chino Moreno
Electronic Music quotes by Chino Moreno
I've been making electronic music for twenty some odd years but, because I grew up playing in punk rock bands, when I started touring, I thought in order to be a viable touring musician I had to do it with a band. I would DJ or tour with a full rock band. ~ Moby
Electronic Music quotes by Moby
We have always been thinking about different ways to perform electronic music, i.e. music made with machines. ~ Thomas Bangalter
Electronic Music quotes by Thomas Bangalter
When it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke. ~ Avicii
Electronic Music quotes by Avicii
If people like electronic music, then great - let that be the next thing. I don't think I ever really will, but there's plenty of records for me to go buy. ~ Doug Martsch
Electronic Music quotes by Doug Martsch
If I can get that DAM trio back together again - "get the band back together" - and put on a concert of David Bowie's electronic music, that's the way I want to remember David, moving forward into the future of music. ~ Carlos Alomar
Electronic Music quotes by Carlos Alomar
I don't feel that electronic music has to stand on the back of urban artists or anyone else to be recognized. It's great music. ~ Kaskade
Electronic Music quotes by Kaskade
I've started thinking about pure electronic music again. Something very melodic, very aggressive. ~ Squarepusher
Electronic Music quotes by Squarepusher
To me a lot of electronic music out there is too serious. I'm a bit fed up with DJs who take themselves too seriously and don't smile. ~ Pedro Winter
Electronic Music quotes by Pedro Winter
Everyone making electronic music has the same tool kits and templates. You listen, and you feel like it can be done on an iPad. If everybody knows all the tricks, it's no more magic. ~ Thomas Bangalter
Electronic Music quotes by Thomas Bangalter
There's a confusion sometimes with the laptop being the current tools and where electronic music initially comes from. ~ Thomas Bangalter
Electronic Music quotes by Thomas Bangalter
In some ways it's hard to see electronic music as a genre because the word "electronic" just refers to how it's made. Hip-hop is electronic music. Most reggae is electronic. Pop is electronic. House music, techno, all these sorts of ostensibly disparate genres are sort of being created with the same equipment. ~ Moby
Electronic Music quotes by Moby
People call me a bedroom electronic musician, which I suppose I am. But I hate most electronic music; I find it really boring. ~ Max Tundra
Electronic Music quotes by Max Tundra
Electronic music right now is in its comfort zone, and it's not moving one inch, ~ Thomas Bangalter
Electronic Music quotes by Thomas Bangalter
When I started working on electronic music, that was after the rave period. I haven't even seen that part of it that much. ~ Avicii
Electronic Music quotes by Avicii
I've been really excited about some new cutting edge electronic music and technology. ~ Mike Shinoda
Electronic Music quotes by Mike Shinoda
I am an indie kid. I made no bones about the fact that I fell into DJing electronic music by accident, by a lucky break, but it doesn't make me any less of a fan of that music, I just never envisaged ... not through a lack of confidence or belief, I just didn't think that I'd be sharing the bill with people that I was going out to see myself. ~ Erol Alkan
Electronic Music quotes by Erol Alkan
Electronic music is really weird right, because it is bleeding into the mainstream, but, at the same time, it's fashion. ~ Nigel Godrich
Electronic Music quotes by Nigel Godrich
Three days later, Mrs. Dalloway was in the hall, blocking the classroom door. 'Hi there, Dick. Are you prone to seizures?'
'Uh, no.'
Thirty minutes later I was wishing I'd said 'Uh, yes,' because then she's have had to turn off the strobe light. Then again, it might not have made a difference; the loud electronic music and Mrs. D's yelling probably would have been enough to do me in anyway. ~ Mindi Scott
Electronic Music quotes by Mindi Scott
We come from a generation that wanted to make electronic music accepted, at a time [when] it was not. ~ Thomas Bangalter
Electronic Music quotes by Thomas Bangalter
The spirit of house music, electronic music, in the beginning was to break the rules, to do things in many different ways. ~ Thomas Bangalter
Electronic Music quotes by Thomas Bangalter
I consider myself a Chicagoan now, having lived in the city since I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a degree in accounting. I came here often when I went to Maine West High School out in Des Plaines, which is a short drive west on the Kennedy or a short Blue Line ride toward O'Hare airport, the next-to-last stop in fact. My friends and I would take the Blue Line downtown and then transfer to the Red or Brown Line up to Belmont and Clark, our favorite part of the city when we were 16 and 17, mainly because of The Alley - a store that sold concert shirts, posters, spiked bracelets and stuff like that - and Gramophone Records, the electronic music store that took my virginity, so to speak. - 1st paragraph from Sophomoric Philosophy ~ Victor David Giron
Electronic Music quotes by Victor David Giron
I've never been really interested in music, classical or otherwise, where the craft is more important than the result. I realized quickly that I'd never be a technical electronic musician. ~ Anna Meredith
Electronic Music quotes by Anna Meredith
I started playing guitar at the age of 8 or 9 years. Very early, and I was like already into pop music and was just trying to copy what I heard on the radio. And at a very early age I started experimenting with old tape recorders from my parents. I was 11 or 12 at that time and then when I was like 14 or 15 I had a punk band. I made all the classic rock musician's evolutions and then in the early nineties I bought my first sampler and that is how I got into electronic music, because I was able to produce it on my own. That was quite a relief. ~ Christian Fennesz
Electronic Music quotes by Christian Fennesz
I tried so many different musics. I kind of burned out on classical and wanted to make it fun again. I started playing with indie bands and country bands and finally realized electronic music brought my style to life. ~ Lindsey Stirling
Electronic Music quotes by Lindsey Stirling
Most pop albums I was looking at as examples to point out production elements had a song that made you want to dance. I've been listening to electronic music forever and I just wanted to have something dancey. ~ Michelle Chamuel
Electronic Music quotes by Michelle Chamuel
I don't really care what music's made on - I love guitars, but I'm fine with great electronic music. ~ Johnny Marr
Electronic Music quotes by Johnny Marr
I still listen to a lot of the classics from Bob Dylan and John Martin, but I love electronic music as well. I'm a big fan of an Australian DJ and producer called Flume, who I think is incredible. He should be more successful in the U.K.! ~ Gabrielle Aplin
Electronic Music quotes by Gabrielle Aplin
At the end of the '90s and into 2000, electronic music was still an underground phenomenon, especially in America. ~ Tiesto
Electronic Music quotes by Tiesto
I wanted to make something that raised questions and was completely different and challenged the way most people experienced electronic music. So some people don't like me; that's OK. ~ Casey Spooner
Electronic Music quotes by Casey Spooner
I'm really excited about the remixes. I've always been a fan of electronic music and I'm thinking about that very seriously for the next record as well. ~ Matt Tong
Electronic Music quotes by Matt Tong
Hip-hop and electronic music are so similar, in the fact that they're both very visceral, have so much bass; a lot of times, it's the same tempos. The culture and some of the sound design is different but a lot of times, it's the same stuff. ~ Skrillex
Electronic Music quotes by Skrillex
Nowadays, especially when you think of electronic music, it's like, the producer is mostly the one who makes the music or the beats and everything. But I am more, since I'm that old, when I started to make music the producer was just sitting in the back shouting and drinking beer. ~ Karin Dreijer Andersson
Electronic Music quotes by Karin Dreijer Andersson
Electronic music used pure sounds, completely calibrated. You had to think digitally, as it were, in a way that allowed you to extend serial ideas into other parameters through technology. ~ Luc Ferrari
Electronic Music quotes by Luc Ferrari
In my teenage years I was as addicted to great pop as I was to free jazz, electronic music, and hardcore blues. ~ Scott Walker
Electronic Music quotes by Scott Walker
You can still make music that people love, but there won't be more innovation. I started listening to electronic music a long time ago. But mostly I listen to rap. I think rap is the most interesting. ~ Harmony Korine
Electronic Music quotes by Harmony Korine
For a long time in the 1970s, I was experimenting to build musical instruments and use them. I did a lot of ethnic music studies and other things, like electronic music. Making homemade musical instruments and performing was my major activity from the time. ~ Yoshi Wada
Electronic Music quotes by Yoshi Wada
When I'm skiing, I listen to electronic music. It's repetitive and let's me get into a groove and crank out the miles. ~ Ben Saunders
Electronic Music quotes by Ben Saunders
I spent most of the year in the studio for electronic music at a radio station in Cologne or in other studios where I produced new works with all kinds of electronic apparatus. ~ Karlheinz Stockhausen
Electronic Music quotes by Karlheinz Stockhausen
Music was segregated in the '80s, and then in the '90s the boundaries started to break down, and rock kids got into electronic music. But then you got this reverse snobbery where people would only listen to electronic music and not rock. ~ Thomas Bangalter
Electronic Music quotes by Thomas Bangalter
Electronic music is innately tied to the technology used to create it - as the tools evolve, so will the art. ~ Richie Hawtin
Electronic Music quotes by Richie Hawtin
Some people think electronic music is cold, but I think that has more to do with the people listening than the actual music itself. ~ Imogen Heap
Electronic Music quotes by Imogen Heap
I'm a huge electronic-music fan. ~ Joseph Kosinski
Electronic Music quotes by Joseph Kosinski
You can begin to see an amalgamation of cultures, the real beginning of one world. Ten years ago, it would have been impossible to imagine a Cockney singing group with a Southern Negro style and Indian and electronic music. I wonder if people have even noticed what a tremendous cultural signal the Beatles are. ~ Alan Arkin
Electronic Music quotes by Alan Arkin
I think the Flecktones are a mixture of acoustic and electronic music with a lot of roots in folk and bluegrass as well as funk and jazz. ~ Bela Fleck
Electronic Music quotes by Bela Fleck
A lot of people see electronic music as a flavor of the week, but it can be more than that - has to be more than that. ~ Kaskade
Electronic Music quotes by Kaskade
I'm trying to fly the flag for the days of electronic music where people who are making it are also building the gear because that was what was happening in the very early days of electronic music. And that spirit is one of the things that really appeals to me about electronic music so I'm putting this forward as a way to keep that. ~ Squarepusher
Electronic Music quotes by Squarepusher
There was a naive quality in 1982 around technology and the start of video games. And that's like the start of electronic music - there was this statement and, ideologically, these things to fight for. ~ Thomas Bangalter
Electronic Music quotes by Thomas Bangalter
I don't remember explaining that I was making electronic music to anyone, but I don't remember anyone being curious about it, either. ~ Nicolas Jaar
Electronic Music quotes by Nicolas Jaar
The 80s were deranged. People had all these liberties all of a sudden and all the freedom in the world, the Less Than Zero sort of themes that came from that period, I think electronic music works very well for that whole idiom. ~ Sam De Jong
Electronic Music quotes by Sam De Jong
I came out of an electronic music scene that based all its music on software. It was a real boys thing, a real testosterone thing - software and the relationship between music and the software - to the point where it was like a closely guarded secret. ~ Herbert
Electronic Music quotes by Herbert
I could create music that sounded as strange as any electronic music, because you see, my opinion about electronic music is that the real composer is the guy who invented the instrument. Pressing buttons is not composing. Composing is about creating something. ~ Glenn Branca
Electronic Music quotes by Glenn Branca
I love electronic music, and I love drum and bass. ~ Fred Durst
Electronic Music quotes by Fred Durst
I think that electronic music mirrors the complexity of "information landscapes." You carry the terrain in your mind. ~ DJ Spooky
Electronic Music quotes by DJ Spooky
I love collecting; my joy is finding private press American or European home studio electronic music from the 60s and 70s. ~ Keith Fullerton Whitman
Electronic Music quotes by Keith Fullerton Whitman
I'll listen to pretty much anything good, but I probably listen to more "electronic" music than anything else. ~ Marques Brownlee
Electronic Music quotes by Marques Brownlee
When he wasn't making quirky jokes about his mother like this - it happened more than once - he mainly spoke at me, about his job and about his band, Jettisoned Airplane, an electronic music duo, which had been formed in March, inspired by the plane that had gone missing and not yet been found. ~ Olivia Sudjic
Electronic Music quotes by Olivia Sudjic
I don't think my vocals demand effects. I like reverb to a certain extent, but I don't want to hide my voice. I like stripped-down vocals, but I also like crazy, powerful, doubled vocals like in dance or electronic music. ~ Victoria Legrand
Electronic Music quotes by Victoria Legrand
I need to do a concert to celebrate David Bowie's electronic music. And in so doing, I'm not taking a step back, I'm taking a step forward and presenting it in its entirety so people can understand this type of visionary. ~ Carlos Alomar
Electronic Music quotes by Carlos Alomar
It is captivating, isn't it? England has such a great scene of electronic music, and I think that was very prominent in Pusher, and the nightlife was the beat of the film. I feel what is really great about Pusher is that it wasn't about drugs and guns and strippers. That was just all circumstantial. I felt like it was really about people and how decisions and circumstances can change relationships. Something just happens. Everything changes for a reason. ~ Agyness Deyn
Electronic Music quotes by Agyness Deyn
What I like about electronic music is you don't really need to be that learned or educated in any particular context. You can just make sound, noise even, whatever it may be. ~ Justin Broadrick
Electronic Music quotes by Justin Broadrick
Electronic music is so weird because trends change so fast. ~ Chaz Bundick
Electronic Music quotes by Chaz Bundick
Electro is today's disco - making electronic music not for the sake of selling it but for sharing it and touring around the world D.J.-ing. ~ Will.i.am
Electronic Music quotes by Will.i.am
The place of electronic music, culturally and socially, is today completely different - it is now everywhere, and it has been totally accepted. Consequently, there is now a younger generation that is more focused on making great electronic music, good parties, and having fun, where there is not any more so much need for cultural and ideological statements in electronic music itself. ~ Thomas Bangalter
Electronic Music quotes by Thomas Bangalter
Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them. ~ Nas
Electronic Music quotes by Nas
I still consider myself a consumer of music more than anything else. ~ DJ Shadow
Electronic Music quotes by DJ Shadow
If there is chemistry, and the mind and body are working as one, it's nirvana. It's like a well-written symphony or, better yet, perfect... sheet music."
"Sheet music?"
"Yeah, music between the sheets. ~ Ann Lister
Electronic Music quotes by Ann Lister
The union and enlightenment experienced in Guitar Yoga will find natural expression in the music. Such music will be in accord with the Music of the Spheres, the fruit and flower and fragrance of the divine harmony of existence. The music will come from the heart, the soul, the very core of one's being. It will be the creative and sublime sound of the Gods, something from the beautiful Beyond, illuminating and inspiring, majestic and mystical. ~ David Cherubim
Electronic Music quotes by David Cherubim
I love making music. I never stop. I want to keep it moving forward. I like to go into the studio and make hits. It makes me feel good. ~ Juicy J
Electronic Music quotes by Juicy J
When I die I intend to take my music with me. I don't know what's out there, but I want to make sure it's in my key. ~ George Burns
Electronic Music quotes by George Burns
I always think I'm the Tom Cruise of music - a lot of success and fans, but no critics, darling. ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Electronic Music quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
Most true artists care about music as a pure, passionate art form, but can get caught in the trap of the business. Which, sadly, has now become more important than the artist or even the music itself. ~ Rosanna Arquette
Electronic Music quotes by Rosanna Arquette
Sound is the force of creation, the true whole. Music then, becomes the voice of the great cosmic oneness and therefore the optimal way to reach this final state of healing. ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan
Electronic Music quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan
All I had was the will and the love for music. I couldn't read music or write it. No connections, no car, no money, no bankroll, no clothes, no nothing. ~ Barry White
Electronic Music quotes by Barry White
She poured out the liquid music of her voice to quench the thirst of his spirit. ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
Electronic Music quotes by Nathaniel Hawthorne
I encourage the study of music. And the immersion. 'Cause my life has been so enriched by being involved in music as I have. ~ Clive Davis
Electronic Music quotes by Clive Davis
I left Stone Sour in '97 because, by that time, we'd been together for about five years and I was kind of getting to the point where I wanted to do something different. I loved the music that we did and I loved the guys that I was with, but I was 24 and just felt like I needed to go and try something different so I didn't get stuck where I was, you know, just doing the same thing. And, coincidentally, that's when Slipknot came and asked me to join. I'd never done anything like Slipknot up until then, so I was like, "Okay, we'll try this and we'll see what happens." And it worked out. ~ Corey Taylor
Electronic Music quotes by Corey Taylor
For Angie time was as big and round as the sky, and to try to make sense out of it was like trying to make sense of music and God and why the ocean was deep. ~ Elizabeth Strout
Electronic Music quotes by Elizabeth Strout
I got more publicity for not doing a festival than for doing the festival. ~ George Wein
Electronic Music quotes by George Wein
Joy and anger,
sorrow and happiness,
caution and remorse
Come upon us by turns,
with ever changing mood.

They come like music from hollows,
like wood when played by the wind,
or how mushrooms grow from the damp.

Daily and nightly they alternate within
but we cannot tell whence they spring.

Without these emotions I should not be.
Without me, they would have no instrument ~ Zhuangzi
Electronic Music quotes by Zhuangzi
The music is in no way politically based - I'm not trying to make a point about sampling. It may bring up issues but I'm not trying to push it on anyone. ~ Girl Talk
Electronic Music quotes by Girl Talk
I've played guitar and piano for a while, so it's really fun to play music on film. ~ Austin Butler
Electronic Music quotes by Austin Butler
Once over there [Balkans], I felt extremely patriotic. Here are these people, from 18-year-olds to military veterans, enduring real duress for the cause of peace. I don't ever want to play for a regular audience again, only military folks who are starving for music. ~ Sheryl Crow
Electronic Music quotes by Sheryl Crow
Music for me has been my breath, my backbone since I was a little kid. Anything that comes to my life, hard time or good time, I always find comfort in music. ~ Angelique Kidjo
Electronic Music quotes by Angelique Kidjo
You have the ability to write melodies and to put lyrics that mean something: to speak about life and what people are going through in their every day ups and downs, the good times and the bad times. Country music has always talked about life, I think; that's what I've always loved about it. ~ Jimi Westbrook
Electronic Music quotes by Jimi Westbrook
I like music that is able to stir my soul. My music is a spiritual exercise ~ A.R. Rahman
Electronic Music quotes by A.R. Rahman
